los Frijoles we éncountered the first one where we first found firs, 
about 2 miles above the house of Judge Abbott, but he says it occa- 
sionally is seen downstream as far as hisranch. Allen ' has described 
a subspecies (Sciurus fremonti neomexicanus) from the eastern slopes 
of the Taos Mountains in Colfax and Moro Counties, “very different 
from specimens from central and northern Colorado,” but he records 
a specimen from Chama, which he refers to fremonti. Our specimens 
from the Jemez Mountains, collected in August, 1910, were found to 
be slightly redder than specimens taken in northwestern Colorado 
in August, 1909, but possibly the latter had faded a trifle. Though 
smaller than some others, this is the best food squirrel in the region. 
Postse’¢. 
Lutra canadensis (Schreber). Canadian Otter. 
Po-tse’. 
Lutra canadensis sonora Rhoads. Sonoran Otter. 
Mr. Dowell, who has trapped extensively in the region, says the 
otter occurs along the Rio Grande near by. The Indians confirm 
this, and fragments of otter skin are worn by them. Without speci- 
mens for identification we can not know which form it is. 
Je’. 
? Mustela arizonensis Mearns. Mountain Weasel. 
Weasels are reported at San Ildefonso by the Indians, but we have 
no specimens for identification. Coues and Yarrow?” reported Puto- 
rius longicauda Merriam at Taos, but this region seems more likely 
to be within the range of arizonensis, much more recently described. 
Mustela streatori leptus Merriam may also extend into northern New 
Mexico. 
Hodge gives Dyé-tdoa as “‘Gopher”’ clans of San Juan, Santa Clara, 
San Ildefonso, and Tesuque, and Yé-tdéa as “Lizard” clans of San 
Juan and San Ildefonso. 
2 
Lutreola vison energumenos Bangs. Western Mink. 
Mr. Dowell says mink occur along the Rio Grande near El Rito de 
los Frijoles. 
2 
Martes caurina origenes (Rhoads). Rocky Mountain Marten. 
Hodge states that Bandelier gives a “Marten”’ clan as existing at 
San Juan pueblo. 
Coues and Yarrow * recorded Mustela americana Turton from Taos. 
That is a species of the north. It is likely the more recently described 
southern form.
